PUBLIC SCHOOLS SHOULD TEACH
VOCATIONS, SAYS A. C. PRO"
PBSSOR
Vocational education should be
given .more attention in grade and
high schools, according to IS. H.
.•Jones, professor of agricultural edu
cation at the A. C., who points out
tain barely 1 y2 percent of all Ameri
can young people enter college and
less than half graduate, while a
Hrge marjority attended school until
at least their 14th year and a big
percentage ol' these at least enter
High school. Dr. Jones discusses the
vocational situation in College and
State," an A. C. publication.
Because North Dakota is funda
mentally an agricultural state, there
is a great future in practical agri
culture courses for high schools, he
believes, as provided under the
£mith-Kughes act, a law authoriz
ing a federal subsidy to all schools
that accepted provisions for carrying
on vocational education. At abou.
the time the act was passed, Nortl.
Dakota authorised agricultural higj
schools and county agricultural
schools.
Lig Opportunities
"In a state whose industry is pre
dominately agriculture." Professor
Jones says, "the needs of agricultural
and home economic training as well
as industrial vocational education
offers a field of exceptional oppor
tunity in the development of this,
'particular work.
"Although the high schools are ai
rapidly as possible endeavoring tc
meet the requirements and are es
tablishing full four-year courses it
agriculture and home economics, it
will remain for the short courses of
three, four and five months for a
period of one, two or three winters,
for short unit courso.s of at least 44
hurs or for four, five and six weeks
duration, and for evening schoo
courses, to accomplish the best work
I6r the first few years. A large per
cent. of our young people, we must
remember, do not finish more than
tha fifth or sixth- grade in the com
inn schools. Likewise, a large pro
portion of the y-i'ic people ,'who an
intensely interested in vocational
agriculture and home economics art
unable on account of a lack of fi
nances or time to be away from tht
home during the growing season.
This necessitates the short dull sea
son course as well as the short uni.
courses. In many instances this con
dition is really a blessing in dis
guise, for it facilitates the supervised
home project which every student in
Smith-Hughes work must carry on
for a period of at least six months
each year.
"The supervised home priject, su
pervised by the instructor, calls for
a 12 months term o£ agricultural in
struction in order that the instructor
may not only teach tiie principles
and science of agriculture, but may
also mingle with the joung men on
their home farms, get acquainted
with their parents and see that they
carry out a home project illustrating
problems studied in the classroom.
The project is done on a farm and
in carrifig it out a throughgoing
educational process is involved.
"Under the home project plan, the
instruction is adapted to the kinds
of farming prevalent in the-districts
where the work is established. The
projects are thus subject to tlie same
obstacles encountered under the
given district, and are also aided by
the influences in a state which seeks
to improve its farming. The force
and value of the work is felt by the
parents. The struggle with realities,
especially, wins their admiration and
respect. They feel that the agricul
tural instructors are competent and
unafraid.

"The plan offers the boy, eager to
quit school to work upon reaching
his 14th birthday, a strong incentive
to continue in school because It
undertakes to make hime an earner
while still a learner.
"At the present time North Da
kota needs to be impressed with an
appreciation the enthusiasm foi
agriculture and rural life. For thifc
ends the courses utilize agriculture
and the mechanic and domestic art*
purely as educational material, ab
solutely in a par with greek ant
mathematics. The Smith-Hughe,
ouises tend to overcome the ides
that agriculture and homemaking
are unworthy callings. Agricultur
-iiust be raised to as dignified a po
sitlon as medicine, law, or engineer
iug. Homemaking must be looket
upon as a profession by the girl,
who go out from the secondarj
chool. The schols of this stati
vill never become efficient in th
highest degree until the basic art
jpon which the future welfare of the
tate and nation depends, are given
heir proper place. Give as much
onsideration to the man who does
hings as is now given to the man
who talks about them, and we shall
ot have to complain of agricultural
o.itlitfon in our stato.Fargo Forum.

Death Toll This Year Will Be 13,

"If you don't see the train, see
me,'' reads the sign ot a Buffalo
undertaker at a railway crossing.
Only those motorists who survive
ail to heed this advice the victims
?an't get away from it.
Thirty-five persons are killed daily
in motor accidents on American
streets and highways.
Thirteen thousand killed, 40,000
njuded, will be the automobile cas
ualty toll this year. One-third of
these will be children under 15
Nine-tenths will be pedestrians run
down by automobiles.
The motor car casualty lists are
growing longer, despite all efforts to
regulate traffic. At each main street
crissing in Washington, both on the
sidewalk and on the pavement, a
large foot is painted read, "Don't
get hurt." Unfortunately, motor
car/ continue to kill people in Wash
ington, notwithstanding.
A speeding motor car driven zig
sag fashion struck a man in Kansas
City, carried his body 50 feet on the
front of the car, but the driver nev
er stopped or slowed up. Both the
victims' legs were factured below
the knee, his left arm was broken
at the elbow, and his neck snapped
in two. Six Cleveland motorists un
der police guard, attended the funer
al of 7-year old Katherine Gilmore,
killed by a speeding automobile in
front of her home, and saw the flow
er-covered coffin borne into the
church by the child's school mates.
The text of the furenal sermon was
"Thou shalt not kill."
Impressive, no doubt, but not so
impressive as a jail or prison sent
ence.
Seven Detroit speedsters, grouped
about the body of an old man and a
boy killed in a traffic accident, list
ened to a few words from Judge
Bartlett, who had just sentenced
them to Jail.
"Gentlemen,'' said the Judge, "I
am going to fight to the last for the
lives of little children I want you to
be examples to others by reason of
your arrest and conviction."
The silence and the ashen fares of
th prisoners, who at first made light
of the trial, showed the judge's little
sermon had Btruck home.
Uniform traffic laws strictly en
forced is the legal remedy. Pedest
rians and motorists must not take
chancs. Motorists must learn they
cannot afford to make mistakes they
must be constantly on watch againsst

the State meet at the Agriculture
College Campus Dec. 18th to Dec.
2 2nd for Instruction and entertain

great interest to the boys is the ban
quet given them by the Commercial
Club of Fargo.
Wo are pleased to report that the
county school nurse is in our midst.
She finds many throats and tonsils
needing attention. W© feel that par
ents generally do not recognize the
relation between enlarged tonsils,
diseased teeth, etc., and the failure
ot children to do good work In school.
We believe that th* lives and health
of the children should be attended to
ubove all other- things. Let us work
together for the upbuilding of the
Health Life of the community.
Miss McNlcol has charge ot the
sale of Christmas seals this yea*. The
money from these seals goes to the
North Dakota Antl-TuberculosiB As
sociation to be used in promoting the
health of people afflicted with that
disease. We have been asked to sell
$100 worth of these stamps. They are
only le each and every person in
Pope should be able to buy a few.
In order to give various individuals
who are trying out for the basket
ball squads a chance to work out,
scrimmage practice was arranged
with the teams from Page on Satur
Jay afternoon. Our boys had a work
Out that ought to help put them In
rim for Fargo. Coach Shrum has
a bunch of hard workers trying out
or the team this year and while it
is too early to make predictions, we
eel sure that the team will ocer good
ompetition to any comers. Fargo
has given us games this year. The
joys play at Fargo Friday evening.
There are a great many absences
rom the lower grades due to the
storm Monday. This 1b the second
.londay that has ipened the school
voek with a blizzard. I think we
lad better look out for the next one.
Ve would suggest that country
hiidren who stay in town should
omo in Sunday night. That would
better than missing two or three
-lays of school.
Last Friday night the Sophomores
,'!ive a very delightful party to the
freshmen of this year's class. The
'reshinen were put through various
nitiation stunts, which included a
iorse race, tight rope walking, snig
:ig, whistling, dancing, etc. The last
.tunt was a mock wedding, Willard
-otts acting as the groom and Eunice
Smith the bride. A straw vote was
akeu during the course of the even
ing to see who was the homliest
reshman boy, and also the moBt pop
alar freshman girl. Willard Kotts
uid Eunice Smith received a majority
-f th« votes cast. After playing a
few games a delicious luneh was
jerved consisting ot ice cream, eake
md cocoa. The sophmore class can
-ertainly entertain in a royal man

TEAM WORKING HARD FOR
FIRST GAME
With the loss of two regulars io
Brewster and Plaine from the team
by graduation, a new team is grad
ually being worked into shape for
the coming season's schedule. The
first squad at the present time com
prises McCullough (Capt), Smith.
BJorklund, Wood, Fuller, Lunding.
Fullmer. Washburn. Christianson.
and Joslyn. The first team has not
been picked yet as the time has been
spent entirely on fundamentals. So
far, McCullough seems to have land
ed one of the forward berths, with
9mlth center, and BJorklund altern
ating guard and center, with a sUght
edge going to Lunding and Fullmer
on the other forward position and
Wood and Fuller the remaining
guard position, It is not likely that
any ot the positions will be clinched
this year as the competition is strong
for the first five places on the team.
Merle and Fern Hanks will soon re
port for practice with
a
hind them which also upset the dope
on positions.
The High Selipol team has engaged
In two full prelimlnery practice
games to date and were successful in
both. With the final polishing off on
fundamentals and the introduction
of signals this week, the team will
be ready tor Fargo on Dec. 15th. at
Fargo, our first game If the season.
